Romantic Hotels in Cambridge
An exciting way for a couple to take advantage of Cambridge's close proximity to Boston, and explore attractions in both areas, is to take a Super Duck Tour. These tours tout letting visitors 'swim the streets' by giving them a tour of nearby Boston and then, in the same vehicle, tour Boston Harbor. Even during the summer, couples are able to partake in winter sports in Cambridge by visiting the Kendall Square Skating Rink, where they can ice skate to their hearts content. After a spin around the rink or a skating lesson, there is a cafe on-site that offers a nice selection of food and drinks. No trip to the Cambridge/Boston area would be complete without stopping for tea along the harbor on the site of the Boston Tea Party, were cafes of all sizes and prices offer a variety of teas and scones year round. For those couples with an interest in history, horticulture, birds, art, and architecture, a trip to The Mt. Auburn Cemetery, located on 175 acres of hills, dells, ponds, woodlands and clearings, will make a nice change from the congested city center. The Friends of Mount Auburn Cemetery offer guided walking tours, slide lectures, and special programs about this National Historic Landmark for visitors year round. Most notable gravesites include those of Winslow Homer, Buckminster Fuller, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Henry Cabot Lodge, Edwin Booth, and Curt Gowdy. The Mt. Auburn Cemetery is also know for having an exceptional and diverse collection of 19th, 20th and 21st-century monuments that rivals most of the museums in Cambridge.
